Ttejaendousl s» ttra* funr Such is Nancy Aim Peek's re- action to the New York Junior Miss pageant in Rochester. Miss Peek returned Sunday night from a full week's activ- ities which included luncheons, rehearsals, a Thanksgiving pa- rade and, of course, the pag- eant itself. \It was a long week but it was worth it. We kept on the go every minute — from 7:30 a.m. to nearly midnight—and there was never a dull min- ute \ The 24 contestants arrived in Rochester Monday in time for a reception where they met their host families. Miss Peek and a Rochester girl were en- tertained for the week by a Coca Cola representative and his family. ' The host families were the best part of the trip,\ she said enthusiastically. \They were just so beautiful. They'd do any- thing for the girls.\ And part of making the girls feel at home was a real fam- ily Thanksgiving dinner Thurs- day. \This was almost as good as being home/' she added.

All the sponsors were there. There was only one thing wrong - the mayor didn't show up!\ Wednesday the girls were treated to lunch in the execu- tive suite of a \factory that manufactures carburators.\ Miss Peek said she hasn't fig- ured that one out yet. Rehearsals began Wednesday with the judges sitting in. The judges, all from the music, dra- matic arts and teaching fields, were present at all the rehear- sals, Miss Peek said. \They told us they were not judging, just observing, but it was strange having them there just the same. \The judges were nice and very helpful. They had a ter- rific sense of humor. \But even so we were kind of terrified at first as they sat there writing down things about all of us.\ Wednesday night the girls learned they were to partici- pfe hi a paradt Thanksgiving S)ay. \That was suppmd to be «sr day off art tt was a vol- ttntary thine but they aaaded at least 12 girts and some back- ed out at the last minute.\ 80 Mks Peek wmrni w *» the parade-in the rain. 'The weather had been ab- solutely beautiful all week and then that! But they changed from the convertibles to regu- lar cars for us and it was fun after all.\ The parade was sponsored by the Teen League of Rochester and included floats entered by various area high schools. 'The teen-agers ran it them- selves and it was a big suc- cess in spite erf the rain. M Friday the rehearsals started again \bright and early\ for the two-night pageant. \You wouldn't have believed how tired the girls were at re- hearsal — and how refreshed they were when the pageant it- self started. \We just took a little break to get something to eat and get dressed and suddenly every- one felt great again. All the girls looked just gorgeous.\ \We were divided into two groups of 12 girls each, the A and B groups. Friday night the A group was judged on poise art appaara&oe art a physical Stoma routine and the B group \Saturday night it was Just the otter way around, so all the girls participated both sights art we were all hi the contestants* parade both nights.\ lite Peek's tafeat eatry in- volved modeling clothes she had made herself and was slightly under the four-minute time limit \It was different from the other entries and I thought I did better than in the local pageant The judges liked H, but I guess they didn't like it quite well enough!\ There was no long pause in the program Saturday while the Judges deliberated. \It really went fast,\ Miss Peek said. \As soon as the last talent act was over they an- nounced the winners, starting with the fourth runner-up.\ The lucky girls were Nancy Smith of Genesee County, fourth runner-up; Kathy Cape- les, Onondaga County, third runner-up; Marcia Jeanne Mc- Carthy, Chemung County, sec- ond runner-up; Jane Cook, Wy- oming County, first runner-up, and Mary Kay Fries, Living- ston Countv, New York State Jaakr Miss. None of the girls from the North Country won aay awards, with the exception of one sch- olarship awarded to a St Law- mice Valley entrant \We're just too far out up here,\ Miss Peek said \Most of the girts come from around Rochester and their pageants are run so much like the state pageant. \And they are close by and can observe the state pageant before they get ready to enter the competition themselves, '•Karen Brooks (from Ticon- deroga) and Pam Terry (Whitehall) and I felt out of place. \We didn't seem to have as much information in advance as the Rochester area girls and we didn't know what was go- ing on until we got down there. Then there was no extra time to prepare anything.\ She mentioned specifically the physical fitness routine which all the girls were re- quired to perform. \We didn't know anything about that,\ she said. \It was a dance routine where they played the music and you were judged on poise, on your abil- ity to adapt to the routine and perform the same steps the oth- the time art tfffi have htt of cooc^ntttr*,\ posed to have been sent to her through the Plattsburgh Jay- cees, her sponsor, but that somehow the addresses got mixed up and she never re- ceived it \There were problems/ 9 she said, \but you can't blame the Jaycees here ior anything. They did a wonderful job. The pageant here is just so new. Perhaps in another year or two with a little more ex- perience things will smooth out\ She said the Jaycees have asked her to give her suggestions for improving the tocal pageant, now only two years old. \I think I have a few ideas that might help in planning ano- ther year. \For example, here only the finalists are asked questions on stage. In Rochester, all the con- testants were asked questions and how you answered really meant so much. \And you wouldn't believe the questions some of those girls got.\ She said she thought hers, relating to what country she would prefer if serving in the waa sup- la yoor the program tor Atprwwtsbesaid.it tyke efflitQflt \eataa from this am to win the state Junior lite We or everi a •*• ner-up spot 4i hecaaae nftw m Besides the kids to Redmfer, both boys art girls, are ao mat- ure—they act about 17 <r tt when they're only 14— and so sophisticated.\ Miss Peek has no regrets at being one of the inexperienced contestants. \I know I did my best and I just loved it. The pageant was so exdt* ing, so wonderful, that whether you won or lost you coukb't help feeling you had gained something by being in it \And the friendships we mads will remind us of the fun. We're already planning a reunion for next year with even the stage hands included. \And as the program here progresses and we get more ex- perience and more first-hand knowledge of the state program, girls from this area will know what's going on ~M some day one of them will v . Jk T Window jimmied in Tupper theft TUPPER LAKE-A jimmied; window provided entrance for i burglars in a $102 theft herej early Thanksgiving morning. j The Northland Auto Supply Co. at 130 Park St. was the scene of illegal entry and bur- glary sometime between 1 a.m.; and 6 a.m. Thursday, viHage po- lice report. The money was removed from • a metal cash drawer underneath, a counter, and thieves exited! through the front door. An attempt was made at the National Army Store next door where a .casing was removed, but a bar prevented entrance.. Police Sgt. Richard King said: icrackings \A bar of that kind is the big- i gest detriment to burglars there is.\ He referred to a heavy wood or metal bar placed across a door and held by sturdy brack- ets anchored in the walls. Police said there is nothing to link the burglary to the safe in the village last week.

Border Patrol authorities say that Jose Manuel Ber- trand-Ojeda was in Canada on a visitor's visa from either Spain or France and was trying to reach New York City, where he has a wife and child. He told authorities that he intended to seek political asylum when he reached New York City. He was released at 3:30 Sunday afternoon and given an indefinite voluntary departure date. This means that he must return to Canada, but may do so at a time of his own choice. The man, a Cuban national and a seaman by trade, is probably now on his way to his family in New York City, Border Patrol authorities say. Westinghouse employes vote to reject contract BATH, N.

Heller, former chair- man of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, said Sun- day. ii l think we've passed the peak in our mild inflation.\ Heller, now a professor of economics a: the University of Minnesota and one of the na- tion's leading advocates for a tax increase next year, was in- terviewed on the NBC radio and television program, \Meet the Press.\ He said he urges a 5 per cent across-the-board surtax on in- come taxes for 1967 to slow down the economy. Heller said there is a need for \easing the monetary screws\ — an end to current high interest rates while \tightening the fiscal screws\ — a tax increase.
